Vanillin offers interesting possibilities for corrosion inhibition because of its safe use and highsolubility in water. The effect of vanillin on the corrosion inhibition of AISI 304 stainless steel in0.5M H2SO4 solution has been studied using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy (EIS). Furthermore, this paper demonstrates that the electrochemical noise(EN) tec...

Stable ductile crack growth in 3 mm thick AISI 304 stainless steel specimens has been investigated experimentally and numerically. Multi-linear Isotropic Hardening method coupled with the Von-Mises yield criterion was adopted for modeling elasto-plastic behavior of the material. Mode-I CT fracture specimens have been tested to generate experimental load-displacement-crack growth data during sta...

OBJECTIVES SUS 304 stainless steels have been widely used in orthodontics and implants such as archwires, brackets, and screws. The purpose of present study was to investigate the biocompatibility of both the commercial microcrystalline biomedical 304 stainless steel (microcrystalline 304ss) and novel-fabricated nanocrystalline 304 stainless steel (nanocrystalline 304ss). METHODS Bulk nanocry...

The effects of boron on the grain boundary and surface energies in iron at 900 and 1000 OC and AISI 316 stainless steel in the temperature range 950-1 250 OC were investigated. It was found that boron reduced these energies in a manner typical of an element with low solubility in the matrix. It has been found that boron improves the grain boundary strength of iron at low temperatures [I] and in...

The TiO2–SiO2 thin films were deposited on AISI 316L stainless steel via sol-gel method. Then, the effect of the added amount of SiO2 on the structure, morphology and mechanical properties of the films and corrosion behavior of AISI 316L stainless steel substrate were investigated. So, X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, depth-sensing indenta...

The temperature of a Fe-Cr-Ni alloy (304 stainless steel) has been measured during shock compression using a high-speed radiometric technique. Experiments were performed on highquality thick films deposited on sapphire and LiF windows. The samples had no observable porosity or defects and closely meet the ideal criteria for shock temperature measurements. Data obtained with both A1203 and LiF w...
